Disorders of the nervous system have the potential to cause severe muscle loss. This often happens because the nerves simply stop sending impulses to certain muscles. If the muscles don’t move, they gradually
One reason that the estimates vary so much is that different definitions and ways of diagnosing sarcopenia are used by doctors and researchers around the world. Sarcopenia can be a serious problem. Once you've lost a lot of muscle and strength, you may struggle to do things such as getting...
The loss can become more noticeable and start to speed up at around age 60. After age 80, studies suggest somewhere between 11% and 50% of people have sarcopenia. One reason that the estimates vary so much is that different definitions and ways of diagnosing sarcopenia are used by doctors ...
A further reason why the long back muscle and other trunk muscles are of interest in animals, is that knowledge of the functioning of these muscles can assist in developing a better understanding of spinal stabilisation mechanisms in quadrupeds (Valentin and Licka, 2015). This has several benefit...
memorycan show itself in many different ways. In general, there are those things we do at work, or at least the way they are done, simply because that is what a previous leader wanted. The “why” may be forgotten, but the task lives on, sometimes long past the original reason. ...
The loss of lean body mass (muscle wasting) is initiated by cascades or events that precipitate increased proteolysis. Muscle wasting is stimulated by internal and external factors. Humorally related feedback loops stimulated by disease states, e.g., cancer, inflammatory myopathies, leukemia, or ...
For this reason, we chose to test for force production improvements at a later time point, 60 days after the treatment. Similar to 30-day time points, the results observed 60 days after treatment revealed that the bioconstruct show improved ex vivo but not in vivo force performances (...
The discovery that the wounded heart can renew itself over time, giving reason for the naturally occurring stem cells found in its muscle, provides great encouragement that harnessing and accelerating the body's own regenerative capacity will become a powerful technology in the not-too-distant ...
(Supplemental Figs.3G,6A) were not different between long COVID patients and controls. Therefore, we conclude that post-exertional malaise cannot be explained by the hypothesis that these deposits block vessel perfusion, causing local tissue hypoxia30,32. The underlying reason for the increased ...
In its most basic form, therefore, the concept of lose fat, gain muscle (at the same time) = an oxymoron. How are you supposed to be able to give your body enough nutrients to have enough to sustain itself (and THEN SOME to build new muscle), yet give it less nutrients than it ne...
